NuGet Version NuGet Downloads Repository CI Targets License

A fixed, dependency-free /health short-circuit for simple liveness probes, with suppression of browser favicon requests caused by that probe.

✨ At a glance

Capability What it does
UseHealthProbeFaviconAware() Add the /health and probe-originated favicon behavior.
GET /health Returns 200 OK, plain-text OK, and no-cache headers.
GET or HEAD /favicon.ico Returns 204 only when the Referer path is exactly /health.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Eigenverft.WebLib.HealthProbes

🚀 Quick start

Add a simple liveness endpoint

using Eigenverft.WebLib.HealthProbes;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;

app.UseHealthProbeFaviconAware();

// Register before middleware that the health request should bypass.
app.Run(context => context.Response.WriteAsync("application"));

Package behavior

The middleware handles only GET and HEAD for the case-insensitive /health path. GET returns 200 with the body OK; HEAD returns the same status without a body. Both responses use text/plain; charset=utf-8 and set Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache plus Pragma: no-cache. Other methods continue through the pipeline.

A GET or HEAD for /favicon.ico returns 204 only when its Referer resolves to the exact /health path; a query string is allowed. Other favicon requests continue normally. Register the middleware early when probes must bypass later filters.

This is a fixed liveness response. It does not invoke ASP.NET Core health checks or inspect application dependencies. Map a separate readiness endpoint when health status must reflect application services.
